El Farolito

In old town Placentia, CA is a little family run restaurant. If you want the real deal, this is one of the best, but little known Mexican eateries I've found in Orange Co..

Yesterday I got the "Salad Burrito", a burrito filled (I mean filled) with shredded roast beef and refried beans and covered with lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. I've also had their chile relleno burrito - a burrito filled with chiles rellenos. And their chips are home made and thick.

I'm glad you're having a lovely time. I never quite like Mexican food as much as I think I'm going to. We are hoping to go to the LA area next March to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and watch the World Ice-Skating Championships, but it may not happen.

Was looking at your home on the Outer Banks on Google Maps yesterday - what a lovely area to live in!

Be sure to have some fish tacos while you're out here. I've heard that the best ones in Orange county are at Wahoo's. (I think there are several in O.C., so it shouldn't be too hard to find.) If you're headed up to the Malibu area, Duke's Barefoot Bar & Grill has the absolute best fish taco's ever. They only serve them in the bar. And if you're lucky, you might be able to get a table on the sand.

My favorite mexican food experience:The El Adobe in Atoka, Oklahoma. The only "mexican" restaurant I've ever been in that tops their tacos with shredded american processed cheese food. I deemed it the El Apuke. BUT he did make some mean home made salsa but you had to ask for it otherwise you got Pace.

I think tonight I shall make some tacos, refried black beans and rice. You must always have rice with beans or beans with rice. Those that order just one don't know what they are doing. I know because I went to the University of Beans and Rice in Austin, Texas. Austin has tacos everywhere.

The passions behind this blog

Everyone is passionate about something. Who I am and who I am becoming as a man, a husband, a father, grandfather, pastor, leader and Christ-follower all work together to shape my passions.

If I think I've got some wisdom or insight to share, I'll share it. If I have a question to ask, I'll ask it. If something in the news strikes me I may comment on it. I won't shy away from controversy, but neither will I tolerate what we call in the south "ugly" behavior in readers' comments.

If you enjoy it, great! Glad to have you along. If you don't, that's OK, too. Thanks for stopping by.
